INDIANA FLOOR, INC NOW OFFERS HIGHER LEVELS OF STOCK OF NORTON RED HEAT PRODUCTS.
Norton Red Heat products, offered by Norton Abrasives, are a premium line of abrasives designed for superior performance in floor sanding and other heavy-duty applications. Here's an overview of what they offer, based on available information:
100% Ceramic Grain: Red Heat abrasives are made with patented SG (Seeded Gel) ceramic alumina grain, providing unmatched cut rates, longevity, and consistent finishes compared to other abrasives like aluminum oxide or zirconia blends. This pure ceramic composition ensures a cleaner cut, better stock removal, and minimal swirl marks.
Enhanced Durability: The products feature a robust Y-weight polyester backing (upgraded from X-weight poly-cotton) for increased strength and resilience, making them ideal for tough jobs like sanding pre-finished floors or hardwoods such as Brazilian Cherry and Walnut.
Micro-Fracturing Technology: The ceramic grain micro-fractures during use, maintaining sharpness longer than traditional abrasives like silicon carbide, which leads to extended product life (e.g., Red Heat screens can sand up to 3,000 square feet compared to 600–700 for silicon carbide). This reduces downtime and abrasive changes, boosting productivity.
Versatility: Red Heat products, including belts, discs, screens, and flap discs, are suitable for a wide range of materials (wood, composite, fiberglass, metals) and machines (e.g., Lagler Hummel, Bona Belt Sander, Clarke EZ-8). They excel in coarse grit blending, deburring, and stock removal, with flexible backing for contoured surfaces.
Scratch-Free Finish: The uniform ceramic grain size creates a fine, consistent scratch pattern, minimizing visible scratches and preparing surfaces for staining or finishing without burn marks.
Applications: Ideal for hardwood floor sanding, concrete finishing, and metalworking, Red Heat products handle large jobs and tough coatings like aluminum oxide finishes on pre-finished floors. They’re widely used by professionals for their efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
